America's Unhealthiest Drinks

(via BoingBoing)

A round-up of America's unhealthiest beverages, pointing out that many people do not notice the hidden calories of what they drink (and crowns a Baskin Robbins shake as the Unhealthiest, with 2,310 calories!) Interesting look at one contributor to obesity/overweight.

Oops, sorry! I thought I had put it in but obviously I was not as awake as I believed ;-)

On the Baskins Robbins shake:
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.

Oof.

Well I don't know how "hidden" the calories in a "Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo’d Power" can be!

I am forever surprised at how easily people are duped by advertising. Most of Jamba Juice's drinks are obscene but I have had to argue with people about their 'health' status since they have vitamins and are made with fruit!
